CLEANING THE TINE AREA
Clean the underside of the tine shield after each use.
The dirt washes off the tines easier if washed off
immediately instead of after it dries.
We do not recommend the use of pressure washers to
clean your unit. They may cause damage to electric
components, spindles, pulleys, bearings, or the engine.
The use of pressure washers will result in shortened life
and reduce serviceability.
BELT REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Do not use an off-the-shelf
belt.
Your tiller has been engineered with a belt made of
special material (Kevlar Tensile) for longer life and
better performance. It should not be replaced with an
off-the-shelf belt.
If belt replacement is required, order belt by part
number from your nearest authorized dealer.
Part No. 754-0434—‘‘V’’ Belt
Disconnect and ground the spark plug wire against
the engine.
Remove the belt cover from the left side of the tiller
as follows: See Figure 10.Remove two torx screws
from the top of belt cover.
Remove the hex cap nut and flat washer from the
side of the belt cover. Remove the self tap screw at
the bottom of the front of the cover.
Remove the belt keeper bracket located behind the
engine pulley by removing two hex bolts and lock
washers. See Figure 11.
Remove belt. Reassemble new belt, following
instructions in reverse order.

Upon reassembly, make certain the belt is routed over

TIRES
Recommended operating tire pressure is
approximately 20 p.s.i. (check sidewall of tire for tire
manufacturer’s recommended pressure). Maximum tire
pressure under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire
pressure should be maintained on both tires.
When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is clean
and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and rim
generously. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.i. to seat beads.
WARNING: Excessive pressure (over 30
p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/
rim assembly to burst with force
sufficient to cause serious injury.
